Are the Ukrainians winning in your mind? Do they have enough wherewithal to seize all their territory back? - Dope

Ordinance we can give them, but they are running out of infantry, not all casualties either. There are lots of reports of desertions, military age men hiding from the draft, low morale, nowhere near ready to kick Russian ass.

I watched an interview, on the network that shall not be named, with a pundit discussing Ukraine and prospects for various outcomes. He seemed to know his stuff. One observation he dropped was that Ukraine has suffered so many casualties already, that an entire generation has been effectively wiped out. Whatever peace they arrive at will necessarily require security guarantees by third parties, not NATO, because Ukraine is so depleted demographically they will be unable to defend themselves for quite a while, if ever.
